[vb5] I really want this style but... nobody's home. Alternatives?
 

So I paid for this style/template a week ago on VBstyles:
http://www.vbstyles.com/redfox-5x-vb...plate-i53.html

I paid for the download, the license, the professional install... but I've heard nothing back at all! I'm not worried about the money, I can easily get a refund going, but I really want that style/template!

Can someone point me in the right direction, or assist?

Maybe you could talk to Dave about porting his Technidev Red IP Board style over to vB5.
There's no guarantee he's willing to do it but it's an excellent style and almost identical to the one you posted.

I asked him and he said no.

In all fairness, I imagine that would be a great deal of work to port a style from vB 4 to vB 5. :)

Sultan Themes converts Vbulletin 4 to 5....

Here's a template they did for me. It was my favorite Vb 4 template: https://www.christforums.org/?styleid=88

Yea, if I had more time I would maybe do it but it's quite some work to make an exact clone.

I take it the price Sultan charges reflects the time consuming effort as the price is 200 bucks: https://www.sultantheme.com/product/...-5-or-xenforo/

And when having to update it they charge 30 bucks each time.

Enjoy,

I thought he might since it is a good amount of work but it was worth asking.

As has been pointed out, Hanafi Jamil at SultanTheme will do anything you want.

He has six or so red themes available for $35, or ...

He's also the best custom theme developer money can buy, at least in my opinion.

Well the style requires quite some template changes as well (the top bar, menu, login, breadcrumbs), depending on the hourly rates I don't know if the $200 will cover it.

I did the same with the Defraction Theme - amid Paypal claim as we speak - development of the themes has come to a grinding halt, which is a shame as I like the rounded edges of the boxes in the theme.

Does anyone know of similar premium themes? None of the popular ones float my boat!
